- ✓On CLA 250e models, expect a 30-40% drop in electric range during UK winters; this is usually normal rather than a battery fault.
- ✓Listen for wind noise at motorway speeds, which suggests the frameless window seals need adjustment.
- ✓Check the interior door cards and dash for creaks when driving over rougher B-roads.
